Today I returned to the Tanzanian Commission to get my passport back, complete with visa. We then went on to a superb Belgian patisserie for lunch; far too much temptation! On the way back we called at several of the local roadside pottery stalls to select some more pots for my garden. (To come back in the shipping.)

We came across a man transporting this coffin on a motor bike. Note the viewing window!

This being the end of the rainy season we have had a couple of very heavy rainstorms today, reminding me very much of the rainy season in Malaysia. The sky in the picture of Emin Pasha where we went for tea says it all.

Another two contrasts:

The cafe at the end of the road;

and the one in the shopping centre.

William went off to play football and Gemma was doing some work so it was very quiet and I have just been sitting on the balcony watching the kites circling and drifting overhead. They seem to appear every evening around dusk and this evening there were about sixteen of them all covering the same patch.  The electricity then went down (again) and the generator came on breaking the silence. Apparently Prince Edward was here at the High Commission a couple of weeks ago and when he had gone the newspapers reported that he was going to solve the problem of electrical supply in Uganda! Keep trying YRH.
